Apricot Chutney Jar

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dried apricots, chopped
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized pot, combine the chopped dried apricots, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the apricots to soften and absorb the flavors.
  3. Add the chopped onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Continue to simmer the mixture for an additional 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney should thicken and become syrupy.
  5. If desired, stir in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
  6. Once done, remove the pot from heat and let the chutney cool before transferring it to a clean jar.
  7. Allow the chutney to sit for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld before serving.
